Viewing UMA Inventory Data on the TMR Server


Viewing UMA Inventory Data on the TMR Server

UMA Inventory Data is added to the native Tivoli inventory by using a .MIF file. The static .MIF file is created on the client by the DMI2TIV.EXE program.
After the .MIF file is created, it must be scanned into the Tivoli database by using the TME Desktop to distribute a customized inventory profile, UMA_PROFILE, to the clients.

To update the UMA Inventory Data in the Tivoli database:

  1.  From the TME Desktop, double-click on the Policy Region.
  2.  Double-click on UMA.
  3.  Click on Profile Manager.
  4.  Click on Subscribers.
  5.  In the Available to become Subscribers field, click on the nodes to be inventoried, and then click on  the left arrow to move the selected nodes to the Current Subscribers field.
  6.  Click on Set Subscriptions & Close.
  7.  Drag and drop the UMA_PROFILE (under the UMA Profile Manager) onto the subscriber (the UMA client).


To create your own profile and profile manager that scan for UMA Inventory Data, do the following:
  1.  From the TME Desktop, double-click on the Policy Region to be scanned.
  2.  In the Policy Region, create a Profile Manager. (Click on Create and then click on ProfileManager.  See the TME 10 Framework documentation for details).
  3.  Add subscribers to the Profile Manager. (Using the right mouse button, click on the Profile Manager  icon. Click on Subscribers, double-click on Profile Manager, and then create and save the profile.)
  4.  Using the right mouse button, click on the newly created profile, and then click on Customize.  A pop-up window appears.
  5.  In the Execute at Target field, place a check mark in the Script check box, and then click on the Script button.
  6.  When a window appears requesting the script name, type

    "%UMA_HOME%\INVENTORY\DMI2TIV.BAT", and then click on Save and Close.

  7.  In the Read Results field, place a check mark in the Custom MIF File check box.
  8.  In the field below the Custom MIF Files to be Read field, type c:umativoli.mif (this must be typed in  lowercase), and then click on Add.
  9.  Click on Save & Close.
  10.  To distribute the profile, double-click on the profile (or use the right mouse button to click on the profile  and then click on Discover). Then, move the Available Targets to the Selected Targets and click  on Distribute & Close.


To run the queries:

  1.  From the TME Desktop, double-click on the Policy Region icon, and then double-click on UMA_Queries. A window appears with the name and icon for each UMA-related query.
  2.  Using the right mouse button, click on any of the icons, and then click on Run Query.
